So for me it's..1.Red Arrows(because of the large formation and energy management) 2. Blue Angels because of the smaller formation and less worry about energy, but their formation handling is spot on by the end of season. 3. Thunderbirds good but just not as good as the other 2. F-16 though would out perform them all in performance envelope and power/weight at lower alt's. This is not to say it's the better war fighter, as the F-18 has more capability in dual roles.
This means the outside pilots are having to do huge corrections to maintain formation. Blue Angels the f-18 has a huge weight vs thrust meaning it can do faster and more dynamic displays and are able to recover their energy quickly they also have a small formation which in turn leads to them being able to hold closer. All this talk of computers flying is shit!...there is NO computer that can fly the formation!! It's the pilots skill and training and trust in his fellow pilots that make the displ
It's a good question, I've read a few of the answers and some are pretty cluey and other are just outright ignorant. 1st about the aircraft..The BAE it yes a trainer and a gorgeous aircraft to fly...but it has it's issues as well, it's under powered compared to the f-16's/f-18's thus you will notice that the red arrow do a very clean energy management display and their change of formations during rolls and climbs are just amazing. Also large formation large whiplash effect.
Hmm, Thunderbirds commentator telling the crowd how hard it was to roll a 6 ship formation when they did it at Waddo this year, Reds come a bit later and without a word do the same roll with all 9!
its a life dream of mine to see these three jet teams, although ive already seen the Blue Angels, they are AWESOME!!!!!!!!! 1/3 dream complete. There is also the Russian Knights!
@3kenpokid it is called The JOINT STRIKE FIGHTER, it's funded by most nato countries at some point along the line, primarily Britain and America, thats why we scrapped the harrier jump jet and our aircraft carriers, and why france are refitting theirs for F-35 usage.

Has to be the Blue Angels... They fly the fastest, they dive the lowest and their combination of difficult maneuvers, close formations, and lack of g-suits or safe operating altitude is just awesome. Arrow come second because they're slower and their maneuvers are less intense, but they fly in great numbers and their tricks are require lots of coordination. Unfortunately, T-Birds come last... They're flashy, but they fly high and their routine isn't as complex. Still difficult, though.
@ThreeBros23 Well that's obvious, but nothing is stopping them from getting newer, faster planes. Their slow planes are part of why their routine comes in second; it's not the Blue Angels or Thunderbirds fault that they fly more high-performance aircraft.
@spurlicos82 Well the Ministry of defence is cutting back on the militaary like Battleships are getting retired along with submarines and soldiers. The RAF only have 2 planes the Tornado and Typhoon.
@ThreeBros23 England is JUST retiring its battleships? All the ones we had in commission were retired more than a decade ago... Well, they still have a strong cruiser and destroyer fleet, so you're okay there. Regardless, we've had huge budget cuts here in the US (especially in the DoD), and we still managed to get new Block 52 F-16s for the Thunderbirds. Hopefully when Britain receives its first F-35s in a couple years, they can allocate some towards the Arrows...
@VvMiamivV Your an idiot! If your going to comment on aircraft display teams get your facts right for a start. The Red Arrows fly Hawk T1A which were designed by Hawker Siddeley back in the 70s, now manufactured by BAE systems. Both of which are/were British companies.
Either way all those pilots have balls to fly in the formations and stunts that they do regardless of team.
RIP to Jon Egging who lost his life on saturday in a accident at Bournemouth Airshow and to all the other pilots who have lost there lives on both sides of the pond over the years just to entertain us
Blue angles fly computers thats why. not hard to fly them.
red arrows are older. no fancy computers.
red arrows fly in 1 big formation?????????????
have you not seen a show from them? its 9 planes 6ft a part in planes that fly analog and swap there formation atleast 10 times for the first part that split in the secend half.
@IWC5LFC Fact: Blue Angels began in 1946; Red Arrows began in 1964. Blue Angels perform most displays within several feet from each other, the Red Arrows perform, while compact as well, but more spaced out, needless to say the Blue Angels need a computer to fly that close together ( In a modern plane, I might add )
RAF Red Arrows are recognised within the business as 'the best'. They have been since 1965. They use more appropriate aircraft more suited to low level aerobatics with an exceptional low altitude performance. The display 'box' for a typical European airshow is smaller than that of a US show.....It has to be, F18s and F16 need more space. All the pilots are highly skilled front line squadron pros. The US Navy use the Hawk to train on too. 'Goshawk'. Its that good. Tricolouri are 2nd best.
Blue Angels! They are navel aviators with the best plains, pilots & training. The red arrows are just a bunch of faggy brits in shitty planes and the thunderbirds are just their gay closeted cousin who would get kicked out of the military if they found out.
They are completely different kinds of display. Blue Angels do slower acrobatic manoeuvres which allow them to perform in a tighter formation with a larger aircraft. The Red Arrows do faster acrobatic manoeuvres which requires a slightly looser formation and allows for more but smaller aircraft. None are better they are just different and are ALL highly skilled pilots with a great level of respect for each other and their abilities. So the question is not who is best, but who do you prefer.
ok.... the blue angels fly in a tight position, but dont do as rapid changes is position as the red arrows, and thats there style. the red arrows fly further apart which enables then to do quick changes..... its not a matter of how tight they r, its how they like their style. i'm not british or american, im irish, so idk
The Red Arrows they are the dangermen, there is even a video on youtube showing their show with both the thunderbirds and blue angels and some of the stunts the red arrows pulled off had the other team pilots scared they were gonna crash and yet red arrows do it on a daily basis fly less than 6 ft apart in the tightest formations and passes.
Im sorry but the red arrows fly training aircraft, while the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds fly aircraft that are used in combat, My Choice and what i see as the better teams are the Blues and the Birds
@critchlowfchc Yeah, about that, I Fly In the United States Military and i would rather see a brightly painted aircraft that I will see in Iraq or Afghanistan rather than something that some countries use to train people, The blue angels fly 18 inches (0.46 meters) apart 90% of the show, yes the Red Arrows flew with Concorde but that does not make them the best in the world, I also have a privet pilots license so dont think i dont know about flying.
@ryan0157 If you fly in the United States Military you must be American: hence you ARE an idiot; and the Red Arrows aren't the best in the world because they flew with Concorde, they are the best in the world because they ARE the best in the world. I'm sure if you are a pilot you will appreciate the moves the Red Arrows do are better...
@critchlowfchc Ok, let me tell you this because you obviously dont get it... If One Team (Red Arrows) fly 6 feet apart and another team (Blue Angels) fly 18 inches apart, what do you think people will want to see, plus the Red Arrows bounce around so much in their display while nether the Blues or the Birds bounce, its a matter of precise flying, tighter formation, and overall smother flight during the display, and you are calling me an idiot when you are most likely a kid behind a computer
@critchlowfchc I know unlike you that flying in tight formation is not an easy task and I respect all formation teams for their hard work to show off what they got
The only team that performs their shows without oxygen masks and G suits. Oh, and they are the only pilots who can land on a ship in bad weather at night. Diamond Dirty Roll represent. Respectfully, The Blue Angels. (They can make the most noise too.)
They're all very good. the angels fly very very close together. but look at the fantastic red little jets under a blue sky...and by the way: can do the angels or thunderbirds things like the gypo break?
Im a huge fan of The Red Arrows. I watch them every day. I live by the by RAF Scampton. Most days you will find me sitting by the runway taking photo's and filming them. Goooooooo Redssss..
@A1FORC3 OK, fine. The "Thunderbirds are GO" is a phrase that was used in the opening sequence of Thunderbirds the 60's TV show. Guessing you don't know what I mean?
pause at :29 ...since when does USAF mean navy...now have a great air force day! USAF ATC...so I love all all the teams in question...especially if they are in my airspace...MARSA is a wonderful thing!
The Red Arrows and Thunderbirds are not Naval display teams & @TheZacman95 - the Red Arrows do not practice every day - they start work up to find three new members in January, Head to Cyprus in March and then confirm display with AOC in May - the team stand down after the Display season in September and enter a maintenance period between October and January.
@dave3663 Hiya Dave, well said buddie. That's so true, because I can't wait for training season to start because I video them everyday during training in Scampton. I live 5 minutes from the runway lol. Love the whole team. They work soooooo hard. Excellent job they do every year. xx
Revolving around respect, they're all some of the most amazing and bravest pilots in the world (Definitely not saying that any other fighter pilot isn't) and are all amazing to watch and highly trained.. You look so ignorant and disrespectful dissing/insulting another team.
blue angels are top they are the most wanted for any air show and are battle ready,oh and guess what they fly almost every day so they know what there doing
@TheZacman95 Don't want to start some sort of comment war, but the USN won't send off the Blue Angels for war. Plus, the Red Arrows practice nearly every day.
@UndeadInsanity If you don't listen to what someone has to say; especially if ignoring it could put a whole city at risk, then you're an idiot. Simple as.
@Nooblet68 Well from what it looks like, your only some kid/teen and your calling someone who has spent decades working at this and has served our country in wars, so of them have did more then two. They risked their lives and dreamed to get where they are as kids and worked hard to it and then you call them idiots. So I'm pretty sure it's clear that your wrong here.
The RED ARROWS, because they are more close, more planes increases the difficulty, more precise and more daring. Their planes are not as powerful as the Blues and Birds but they all put on a very good show.
I think there is something for everyone in all display teams. They all have fantastic pilots all of which are the cream of their respective units and on top of all that practice hard. There is power and precision in the Blues and T'birds, elegance and awe at the Reds, Nuttineness of the Frecce Tricolori and Patrouille de France and what about the Russian Knights? Wow all of them. But the Red Arrows always have something going on in front of you and that keeps a long display interesting.
only seen thunderbirds once never seen blue angels lost count of how many times ive seen the reds. would love to see more of the american teams this side of the pond. my personal favorite teams are the french and italians. cant beat thge reds for precision but their display gats a little boring as its the same one year in year out.

blue angels are the best stunt pilots ever fly tighter together bigger more powerful jets saw all three and hands down blue angels were by far the best
@rbarrett88 they maybe powerful but its not all about power and sound...and u obviously havent seen the red arrows if you think that the thunderbirds and the blue angels fly in tighter positions than the red arrows.....tut tut.
@MrMaxisdaname The Red Arrows can admittedly pull off some slick maneuvers, but a lot of that has to do with the fact they're flying a trainer aircraft. Trainers are made to be able to recover from mistakes...not to be a widow maker if you're not at the top of their game. The F-16 and F/A-18 aren't trainers. Make a mistake and you die. For this reason the Red Arrows can get away with what they can, but the blue angels and thunderbirds don't have any margin for error.
I have seen the Blue Angels many times and the Thunderbirds once. I would love to see the Red Arrows one day. But if I had to pick between the 3, I would have to say the Blue Angels. But like I said, I have never seen the Red Arrows though so maybe if I ever see them my opinion might change.
@belspitfire not true, the real reason why the Thunderbirds have stayed with the f16 is only because of price and size difference. There might be other small reasons why but those are the main reason. Trust me, the Thunderbirds have been trying to switch to f15's for years. They just don't have that kind of funding.
Being a pilot takes alot of skill, so I think they're all admirable, but the Thunderbirds have been tradition for me since I was 3. The Blue Angels come in second for me, but I have to say the Thuderbirds rock my sox, and they always will. USAF 4 LIFE

@TheZacman95 Don't want to start some sort of comment war, but the USN won't send off the Blue Angels for war. Plus, the Red Arrows practice nearly every day.

@UndeadInsanity If you don't listen to what someone has to say; especially if ignoring it could put a whole city at risk, then you're an idiot. Simple as.

@Nooblet68 Well from what it looks like, your only some kid/teen and your calling someone who has spent decades working at this and has served our country in wars, so of them have did more then two. They risked their lives and dreamed to get where they are as kids and worked hard to it and then you call them idiots. So I'm pretty sure it's clear that your wrong here.

The Tbirds are so underrated. They are just as hardcore as the rest of them. And the F-16 is just awesome.
I don't like the BAe Hawk that much.

The RED ARROWS, because they are more close, more planes increases the difficulty, more precise and more daring. Their planes are not as powerful as the Blues and Birds but they all put on a very good show.

my top: red arrows- they get closer than others and do crazier stuff
thunderbirds- they r great, love the f-16 and they r better than the blue angels
blu angels- OVERRATED! they still do the job but mostly known because of the f-18 and the ok in crazyness... thats my opinion
btw whats the name of the song?

I think there is something for everyone in all display teams. They all have fantastic pilots all of which are the cream of their respective units and on top of all that practice hard. There is power and precision in the Blues and T'birds, elegance and awe at the Reds, Nuttineness of the Frecce Tricolori and Patrouille de France and what about the Russian Knights? Wow all of them. But the Red Arrows always have something going on in front of you and that keeps a long display interesting.

@rbarrett88 they maybe powerful but its not all about power and sound...and u obviously havent seen the red arrows if you think that the thunderbirds and the blue angels fly in tighter positions than the red arrows.....tut tut.
MrMaxisdaname 11 months ago
@MrMaxisdaname The Red Arrows can admittedly pull off some slick maneuvers, but a lot of that has to do with the fact they're flying a trainer aircraft. Trainers are made to be able to recover from mistakes...not to be a widow maker if you're not at the top of their game. The F-16 and F/A-18 aren't trainers. Make a mistake and you die. For this reason the Red Arrows can get away with what they can, but the blue angels and thunderbirds don't have any margin for error.

I have seen the Blue Angels many times and the Thunderbirds once. I would love to see the Red Arrows one day. But if I had to pick between the 3, I would have to say the Blue Angels. But like I said, I have never seen the Red Arrows though so maybe if I ever see them my opinion might change.

I wish the thunderbirds would switch to f-15's or f-22's. (doesn't mean they have to, it is just my opinion.)

@boyman999 true
gangstahero1770 1 year ago
@gangstahero1770
F15 is not that manueverable as an f16, so that would be a bad choice.
belspitfire 1 year ago
@belspitfire not true, the real reason why the Thunderbirds have stayed with the f16 is only because of price and size difference. There might be other small reasons why but those are the main reason. Trust me, the Thunderbirds have been trying to switch to f15's for years. They just don't have that kind of funding.

@gangstahero1770 and since they have not moved is cause they havent had a casualty since they changed

Being a pilot takes alot of skill, so I think they're all admirable, but the Thunderbirds have been tradition for me since I was 3. The Blue Angels come in second for me, but I have to say the Thuderbirds rock my sox, and they always will. USAF 4 LIFE
